Ok, a little bit off topic, but perhaps someone has the answer.

On my Debian ( sid ) i installed fpc-source with apt-get.

After dist-upgrade i have two versions of fpc-source:

Show quoted text 10 lines
apt-cache policy fpc-source fpc-source: Installiert: 2.6.4+dfsg-1 Installationskandidat: 2.6.4+dfsg-1 Versionstabelle: *** 2.6.4+dfsg-1 0 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 2.6.2-8 0 500 http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable/main i386 Packages

do i have to remove version 2.6.2 manually?

If i do
apt-cache show fpc-source

there is no line "replaces ..", so i think its my job to remove the old fpc-source 2.6.2??

But why??

Thanks for a tipp!!

You can have both. They don't interfere.
So, yes, you have to remove old versions manually when you don't need them anymore.

by manually, would that be something like

apt-get remove fpc-2.6.2

or

rm /f path/to/fpc/2.6.2

??
